“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
— Helen Keller“One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.”
— Paulo Coelho
When pursuing your dream, you are faced with many goodbyes. Some of these goodbyes are good, like bidding adieu to our limited perception of what we can achieve. Or to the naysayers who try to keep us from our pursuit. Other goodbyes are difficult, because it means letting go of who we once believed we would be.
